When someone is born under the sun in Aries, their willpower is bright, new, and full of excitement. The sun represents the willpower, and the will of an Aries brightens the rest of the chart intensely. Those with the sun in Aries have great and unavoidable willpower. Being a Cardinal sign, exploration of the Sun's qualities work best in this sign. An Aries explores life as though they have experienced everything for the first time, so they are fast and enthusiastic learners in the sun.

Particularly, they find interest in sports, politics, and anything else pertaining to good competition. It's very possible that they'll gain public recognition (Sun) through competition (Aries). Good placements for Mars indicate healthy competition; Jupiter increases the chance for recognition. The opposite is possible for an afflicted Mars as well as a lack of connections in Jupiter.

The newness of Aries comes from it being a Cardinal sign as well as the first in the zodiac. They specialize in beginnings; first experiences are Aries' comfort zone because they're so enthused about learning new things. Their hunger for experience makes them come off as inexperienced, so they may need guidance from others. Because of their need to experience things at the front lines, Aries do not take well to being told what to do; they want to find their own way, not pointed in a particular direction.

The sign Aries is ruled by Mars. Mars is extremely primal, working completely off of reactions and almost nothing else. That makes Aries an initial sign, completely on the surface and little else. If there are especially sensitive signs coating the emotions and subconscious of Sun in Aries natives, they may come off as egotistic, overconfident, and immature as a form of protecting themselves.

A Healthy Aries Sun

If the sun and Mars is in good standing, natives with a Sun in Aries will be leaders, strong-willed, and protective. They have no issue with taking the reins in any situation, and because the sun is already in good standing in Aries, this is the case most of the time. Mars is a warrior planet, and Aries is its soldier, which makes Aries a protector of those they love. The strong will of Aries comes from the luminescence of the sun; no other planets would shine without the light of it.

An Afflicted Aries Sun

If the sun and Mars is afflicted, natives with a Sun in Aries will be extreme, egotistical, and quick to react. They're known for their anger, extreme reactions being a basic part of the personality. Arrogance in sports and other competitive occupations may lead to their undoing. Egotism comes from insecurity and need to feel bigger or more important than others; the native may not even realize these qualities about themselves, especially if those around them do not point it out.

The Transiting Aries Sun

When the Sun transits Aries, it's the planetary signal for new beginnings in the personality. Creative projects prosper; sportsmanship acquires motivation. The entire Sun transiting Aries period extends the motivation of those connected to it. Mars dominant individuals find themselves with extra energy; fire Sun signs feel free-flowing inspiration. In the Sun transit Aries period, Libras find need for personal compromise. Their creativity, relations to others, and the occurrence of arrogance. Specifically, Libras find themselves acting more selfishly and competitive.
